host: does john boehner have a point? guest: well, the speaker has a political point. he certainly does. but it's not a gimmick. it's a law. and enforcing that law is important for the president of the united states who is after all our chief magistrate, our nation's highest law enforcer to send a strong signal. other presidents have done the same thing when oil prices have gotten high. and we don't want market manipulation, speculation to make matters worse than they are. but the speaker is right. if there's evidence of wrongdoing we have the tools to put in place to prosecute that wrongdoing and i think the president was sending the message that's what he intends to do. host: let's go to a few phone calls. mark on the democratic line waiting to talk. caller: good morning. i was calling, i commend you on your work with nrdc. great organization. real quick. i want to outline a few points. back in the 199, don henlly had a song out called the end of the innocence and one of the great lines from that song is finding a place where we can go still untouched by man. and thi

[video clip] >> we want to ask you about the report last night the u.s.a. olympic team going to be wearing chinese made uniforms in the opening ceremony and your thoughts about going it china and this business. >> you would think they would know better. host: that is his reaction. we go next to seattle, washington, mike on the democrat lane. caller: made in the u.s.a. very good question. to me it is not necessarily about -- the problem is not whether it is made in the u.s.a. that is the overall problem. but if you look a little closer it is the consumption of very inexpensive products. so, i think this ralph lauren story is going to start the wheels turning for us to really set up some legislation to have things made here in the united states. if you look a little deeper, what you will find is that a lot of people are addicted to inexpensive products. so, somehow we as a country have to find the balance of prod

when you contrast it with what john boehner says, it is okay to cut pell grants for students but no sacrifice has to be made by the wealthiest. since september 11, we have not prevailed upon the american people, except for the men and women who are fighting our wars overseas, we have not prevailed upon the american people to make any sacrifice other than those who have been imposed by a difficult economy. the question is one of shared sacrifice and everybody stepping up to the plate. minimally, we should take all look at this time when several people have done extraordinarily well but perhaps they can signal that they can do a little bit more for the country. that is probably good segue for me to talk about an idea -- the president mentioned this in his speech in the state of the union. the men and women who serve our military and they have been the people we have called upon to sacrifice and they do so. it is an all-a volunteer military. it was not always that way in the country. we have never been at a point in our history were both our wars were not paid for and have accumulated this natio
